焼き茄子のゴマだれ。 野菜あんかけ。
Grilled aubergine in sesame sauce. Vegetables in ankake(starchy sauce). The Japanese starchy sauce is not oily and completely drinkable, unlike the chinese kind. Apparently it is very common Kyoto cooking style in winter because the thick starch sauce keeps the food warm.

All the food are very good. Traditional Kyoto winter food that really warms you up. We only had tea and no alcohol with the meal and it was 10,000yen for 3 people.

  1. Many dishes look heart-warming and nice *hearts*

    You don’t know how much I want a bite of that green tea tiramisu! Looks so soft, so pretty~

    Haha those faces in dirt are hilarious. All the places you went to seem quite relaxing!

  2. It was mainly a eating trip so we spent a lot of time inside restaurants. ^^;; Temples and gardens are calming…even though we were kinda in a rush(between meals ^^;;).

  3. Ohara looks absolutely stunning! The head statue buried on ground – so cinematic!

    White miso soybean milk – interesting! It’s salty right? A milk drink or soup? ^^;; Is kamameshi kinda like “Pot Chai Rice”?

  4. White miso soybean milk is salty but also slightly sweet. It is more milk drink than soup. ^^;;
    Yeah haha, Kamameshi is a bit like Pot Chai Rice, but pot chai rice has stronger fragrance~
